They kept a snake in the house and fed it milk by hand; killing it brought disaster. That is where the walk opens, at the Bastion, with the Basilisk the city invented to explain its dead. From there: the Gate of Dawn and its wall of 8,000 silver hearts, legs and eyes left to buy a cure from heaven; three martyrs killed in 1347 whose bodies still refuse to decay; the Basilian Gate, built by the church that went over to Rome in 1596 to keep Moscow from claiming it; St Casimir's, built by a son to undo the nation his father turned Protestant; where Stendhal watched Napoleon's army freeze in 1812; the lane where a mob burned the rival church; and Cathedral Square, where a pagan fire burns under ...

Itinéraire
1
Artillery Bastion (Basteja)
This is the meeting point and the tour's opening scene — the site of the pagan household snake, once fed milk by hand as a sacred guardian, and the reputed lair of the Basilisk of Vilnius, a monster whose gaze alone could kill.
15 minutes
2
Porte de l'Aurore
The miracle icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the wall of roughly 8,000 silver votive offerings — hearts, legs, eyes — left by pilgrims seeking a cure, viewed from the street and the chapel entrance.
15 minutes
3
Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit
The resting place of the three martyrs of 1347 — the holy dead whose bodies, tradition holds, never decayed.
15 minutes
4
Église de la Sainte-Trinité et porte basilienne
The gate and former Uniate church, created after Vilnius's Orthodox congregations entered union with Rome in 1596 while keeping their Eastern rite.
15 minutes
5
Église Saint-Casimir
The first Baroque church built in Vilnius, and the story of the family that turned the nation Protestant and back again within two generations.
15 minutes
6
Didzioji Gatve
The building where a young French officer, Henri Beyle — later famous as the novelist Stendhal — took shelter during Napoleon's frozen 1812 retreat. Thousands in army's mass grave, found in 2001.
15 minutes
7
St. Michael's Church (Sv. Mykolo Baznycia)
Two rival churches facing off across one narrow lane, and the mob confrontation that settled the dispute between them.
15 minutes
8
Place de la cathédrale de Vilnius
The saint whose body reportedly never decayed, the mysterious three-handed painting, the pagan temple believed to lie beneath the cathedral, and the eternal flame marking the last pagan state in Europe. The walk ends here.
